Texas researchers proposed in 2022 using these sticky natural polymers to clean up water. Now, they’ve found that okra and/or fenugreek extracts attracted and removed up to 90% of microplastics from ocean water, freshwater, and groundwater.

Okra and Fenugreek Extracts Safely Remove Microplastics From Water in New Texas Research
The slimy strings from okra and the gel from fenugreek seeds can trap microplastics better than the slightly-toxic synthetic polymer in use.

"A plethora of studies backs up the idea that gardening has numerous benefits: It improves air quality and biodiversity for our environment, reduces stress and increases mindfulness for gardeners, and strengthens our connection to community."

Protect your peppers!
Don’t plant them outdoors where cucumbers, marrows, potatoes or tomatoes grew last year—they share similar diseases. If those crops had issues, the soil could pass problems on to your new peppers. Rotate crops to keep your plants healthy and productive! #gardening #peppers
